The Rakhi Bazaar

How colourful and gorgeous

Appears The Rakhi Bazaar

With the colourful threads

Hanging and kept on trays

Decorating the bazaar,

Resonating with brother-sister bonding

And the slight rituals to go,

The tying of the sacred thread,

The wristband most important,

Let the day come,

Rakhi Purnima,

Raksha Bandhan!
